Human Trafficking - Child Trafficking

Word of the Week: Frustrated | mumturnedmom

With thousands of children on forced lock-downs across the nation, we are witness to the compounding of an ever present challenge facing our schools.

Child sex trafficking,
child sexual abuse,
child abuse,
child neglect.

However one decides to label it, mandatory first reporters - teachers - are hamstrung by the lack of presence in our children's lives.

This is particularly troubling when we consider the steady decline, manifest back in March of 2020, in reports of child neglect.

Difficult to discern how many would have been investigated and found illegitimate since none of them could have been as they weren't reported.

Since those children who almost exclusively rely on a public school infrastructure for medical care, immunizations, communication, food, and learning no longer have access to those things - we can't reach them. We don't even know what we don't know.

We hear activists and media clarion calls for safety first. I see t-shirts that say It's not about you with the graphic of a covid mask. And yet we've all but abandoned children who need us the most.

Many of these children live and attend school in impoverished communities where riots, looting, and burning have gone on for months. Many more are in communities where so called demonstrators are demanding the de-funding - now the elimination - of the police.

The chain of custody around

reporting,
investigating,
arresting,
charging
trying and imprisoning child sex traffickers,

is irreparably broken by the very people, their relentless destruction of our city infrastructure, and their lying narratives. They claim they want what's best for America's children.

Panicdemic Data - We Can Open Schools

10/13/2020 UPDATE The Great Barrington Declaration . You probably haven't seen it since Google and Reddit shadow banned/censored and salted it with climate denial subterfuge. Bing for the win, since they played it straight. This science driven, thoughtful petition - initiated by highly recognized Harvard, Stanford, and Oxford epidemiologists - signed by 7,000 medical scientists and 15,000 medical practitioners. Science is real, remember? Here's a key part: " Current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short and long-term public health. The results (to name a few) include lower childhood vaccination rates, worsening cardiovascular disease outcomes, fewer cancer screenings and deteriorating mental health – leading to greater excess mortality in years to come, with the working class and younger members of society carrying the heaviest burden. Keeping students out of school is a grave injustice. Keeping these measures in place until a vaccine is availab

The Merits of Arizona's New Standardized Test - Principles of Principals

On November 3, 2014, behind the distractions of the mid-term elections; the Arizona State Board of Education approved the RFP from SAGE Testing Company for full implementation of the AzMERIT for Spring 2015. If you're a parent, student, or employed in education you need to know some things about this test. In it's entirety, the test is computer based. Instead of asking your child to select the correct graph from a menu of choices, they will be asked to create a graphic representation on their own. Admittedly, it's a much DEEPER look into applied knowledge. Utah took the test last school year with startling results . Less than half tested proficient. Less than half . Either it's a distilled look at UT children's abilities, or the results are skewed by rapid implementation of new standards, new measures of accountability, and new testing protocols. Is Arizona ready? District's who were preparing, have had a minor shift in preparation towards th

1.5 Reasons to Take a Different Path - The Hippy-Cow Way

The Hippy-Cow Way I remember early in my career asking a question something like, "Why don't we try [insert idea here]?" And the quick reply, "Because this is the way we've always done it." Wow. 2020 is teaching us that the way we've always done things..does not work. Yeah. The age-old rut that can trap us all. Frustrating isn't it? As a child growing up in the Aspen Valley, I remember traveling many miles along Highway 82. Glenwood to Carbondale, then to Basalt, and on to Aspen. Two lanes most of the way, it was and is the main route connecting all of these Rocky Mountain towns. The drive can be breath-taking in the Fall. And most take this route because, well, it's the route we always take. It's familiar. Safe. Known. Well traveled. You get the idea. There are other ways to get where you're going. Roads less traveled that hold great sites and great reward. One of my favorites is the Hippy-Cow Way. Known only to our fam
